Additionally, the simile ‘dressed her up like a doll’ (32) shows Pechorin’s need to domesticate women to fit his own desires and suggests how Pechorin and Maxim Maximych believe a woman is only happy when she is obedient to her man. Her insignificance in Pechorin’s life is emphasized by the fact that he soon gets ‘bored’ (37) of her. This adjective highlights that she is nothing but a toy for Pechorin…

right action as Immanuel Kant, a German philosopher, did. He said that you should “act only on the maxim through which you can at the same time will that it should become a universal law” (Kant).
